You must observe the legal requirements for
the country in which you are currently driving
when operating mobile communications
equipment in the vehicle.
If it is permitted by law to operate communi-
cations equipment while the vehicle is in
motion, you may only do so if the traffic sit-
uation permits. You may otherwise be dis-
tracted from the traffic conditions, cause an
accident and injure yourself and others.
Excessive levels of electromagnetic radiation
may cause damage to your health and to the
health of others. The use of an exterior aerial
takes into consideration the scientific discus-
sion surrounding the possible health risk posed
by electromagnetic fields.
Mercedes-Benz recommends the use of an
approved exterior aerial. This ensures:
R
optimal mobile phone reception quality in the
vehicle
R
that mutual interference between the vehicle
electronics and mobile phones is minimised
An exterior aerial has the following advantages:
R
it conducts the electromagnetic fields gener-
ated by a wireless device to the exterior
R
the field strength in the vehicle interior is
lower than in a vehicle that does not have an
exterior aerial
